A dozen gay-rights activists were arrested for criminal trespass after holding a sit-in outside the office of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler to protest his recent comments about homosexuality.

Twenty-two gay-rights activists initially participated in the sit-in this morning, before 10 left peacefully.
